Third Coast Percussions at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, University of Notre Dame

The monumental Irish talent Donnacha Dennehy and Third Coast put you inside the heartbeat of the bodhrán—one of the main instruments, which still has the power to stir ancestral memory in Celtic people of today—for a high-concept surround-sound drumming event. In Third Coast tradition, this concert is something big, addictive and unlike any expression of the Irish drum today. This performance is the first of three in “16 X 16: Centenary Tribute to Ireland.”
